Urgent Orders, Injunctions
Injunctions are not granted lightly by the courts. They are draconian measures.
Real Estate disputes
In the aftermath of financial crises, our lawyers represented over six hundred investors to recover their claims for cancellation of sale and purchase agreements, seek compensation and recover the monies. We have also defended and handled high-value claims for developers of real estate projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Offshore, multi-jurisdictional
We frequently represent clients facing multiple, related legal proceedings in several jurisdictions. In these situations, coordination and consistency of strategy are essential – and so is the ability to understand and manage the complex procedural issues that arise from the multiple, potentially different laws and rules that may apply. We pursue and defend various parallel legal proceedings, including arbitrations, national court lawsuits and international court proceedings.
Shareholder Litigation
Shareholders disputes can range from breach of shareholders agreement and articles of association to shareholder grievances for shareholding dilution, exclusion from management and similar “oppressions”. Some of the matters in which we have represented minority shareholders are:
- deadlocks,
- allotment of shares for an improper purpose, suppression of the rights of minority owners,
- breaches of contract and fiduciary duty
- Derivative actions;
- unfair prejudice claims;
- court-ordered buyouts of minority shares and valuation disputes
- statutory petitions for just and equitable winding up
